Abdominal ultrasound
What does it consist of?
During the examination, the specialist moves the transducer over the part of the body to be studied, having previously applied a gel. This transducer sends sound waves (ultrasound) that “bounce” off different organs and tissues, forming the image.

To whom?
Your doctor may recommend an abdominal ultrasound in the following cases:
- Determine the cause of abdominal pain or bloating.
- Monitor and control kidney stones, liver diseases and tumors, among other conditions.
- Evaluate the possible risk of suffering an abdominal aortic aneurysm.
